ISP HydroForce CalWet Granular (Residual Surfactant)
Block copolymer soil surfactant, Polyacrylamide and Gypsum for high-cut turf and ornamental plant situations.
HydroForce CalWet Granular 2-4mm is a unique, granular residual surfactant formulation specifically developed for use in high-cut turf and ornamental plant situations.
CalWet 2-4mm is a triple-purpose product and unique in that the granular carrier itself is Gypsum, which is ideal for reducing sodium accumulation in turf soils. The addition of the soil surfactant and linear polyacrylamide to the Gypsum granule assists in the coverage, penetration, retention, and downward water movement within the soil environment. By creating an improved flow of water, CalWet 2-4mm improves performance, more effectively displacing sodium.
CalWet 2-4mm is available in a 2mm – 4mm granular size (200-400SGN). Ideal for high-cut turf surfaces and ornamental plant situations.
CalWet 2-4mm contains 20% Calcium and 15% Sulphur.
The soil surfactant in CalWet 2-4mm is a block-copolymer (30g/kg), which is known to provide consistent residual performance up to 8-10 weeks following application (rate dependant).
The linear polyacrylamide within the CalWet 2-4mm formulation, significantly enhances moisture retention, reducing irrigation requirements.
Key Features
- Triple-purpose product. Provides 3 benefits in one application. Most granular wetting agents are on an inert carrier providing no benefit for turf growth.
- Low burn, a gypsum-based formulation that is ideal for use in turf renovation activities or via topical maintenance applications.
- Relieves and prevents problems with hydrophobic soils for an extended period: 8-12 weeks.
- Reduces sodium accumulation in soils and the negative impacts that sodium creates. CalWet 2-4mm will improve soil structure and the overall growing environment within the rootzone.
- Improves water retention and usage, significantly reducing irrigation requirements.
- Enhances overall plant health and vigour by limiting water stress and improving nutrient uptake.
- Ideal for use in renovation activities, particularly where organics are being used which can possess hydrophobic characteristics.
- CalWet 2-4mm contains minimal dust for ease of application and use.
- The Polyacrylamide in CalWet 2-4mm is linear and won’t crystalise and swell like traditional water crystal chemistry.
